At least not unless the service provider provides really attractive music listening hardware.
Unfortunately, I believe currently both Apple, Google and Amazon streaming services have these issues at the moment. However, if you want to enjoy the music purely from a computer or an Android phone, Google Music might be a good choice. exile wrote: > > any idea how i could import my trackstat info into my google play > account? > According to this: http://play.google.com/about/music/unlock/ You should at least be able to import ratings from iTunes. I don't think they have any API, so it's probably not possible to do something that imports them directly from TrackStat, but possibly you might be able to accomplish something through iTunes or by writing the ratings to tags as I think some users have been able to do through JRiver Media Center.
